What is the largest Stellar Forge generated Black Hole you have discovered

I know that Sag A is the biggest, and Great Annihilator A and B are up there too.

But after those two, what is the biggest you all have seen?

I am on the hunt for a monster but so far this is the biggest one I have located:

I am wondering how big the generated ones can get, I am on the hunt for an intermediate mass black hole, something besides Great Annihilator that is more than 100 solar masses.
 
That is bigger than I had expected they could get in the proc-gen - nice to see! Without giving away the precise location, whereabouts in the galaxy is it? I'm guessing (without a firm foundation!) near the Core and quite high above or below the plane? Is it an AA-A H system as we'd expect?
 
Yes it is far below, -1200 on the outer edge of the core. I also found 2 others within 2kylies that were 32 solar masses and 2 more that were 18ish.

All AA-A H systems, as one would expect :p

Actually I traveled between this 45 mass one to one of the 32 mass one on a trail of nothing but Neutron star jumps, with a blue Supergiant at the half way point between them.

I am currently exploring a sector with 5 AA-A H black holes in it, as well as an additional 6 AA-A Gs, but so far the G ones have only been between 8 and 12.5 Solar Masses.

The Gates of Apzu has 57.48 solar masses and is the biggest one I have discovered so far.

WOW! I love the description you typed up too, a Black Hole that big is worthy of it's own name. I am thinking about mapping out this path I have taken to add to the Galactic Mapping project when I get back. It is a couple thousand light years long and full of many interesting things, and a lot of things I did not tag so plenty ripe for other explorers.


I tried to rep you but I already gave you rep somewhere else, so instead I give you my patented 21 monkey salute:

o7o7o7o7o7o7o7o7o7o7o7o7o7o7o7o7o7o7o7o7o7

That means more to me than a rep, very kind. Thanks :D

I also found some other heavy hitters in the 40-55 solar masses range. If you're interested I can give you the systems.

I'd be very interested to see data for those systems, Andrew. This is changing my (lack of) understanding of black holes in the stellar forge!
 
I put together a small album on Imgur. Hope that helps :D

Thanks for the album Andrew, it was awesome. On my quest this evening for a greater than 100 SM proc generated black hole, I finally cracked the 50 SM club with this bad boy:

System Info:

The second black hole in system was 11.7 solar masses.

@Jackie Silver in my quest for 100 I am also compiling data and recording it in my EDDiscovery notes. When I get back from the bubble and as I continue, I plan on plotting a mass curve of all AA-A H BH systems I come across, as well as adding data from other peoples contributions.

Thanks everyone so far, and if anyone else has anything to add to what has been shared in this thread(proc generated only) feel free to share it.

Or if you discover a massive named BH that is previously undiscovered, feel free to share that too.

Cheers

This is the heaviest I found so far :

Haven't any system map screenshot sadly, since I log everything in a spreadsheet straight on, I have more here with stats and stuff if anyone is interested :) :

(Thinking of you @Jackie if you're around, have a total of 87 98 black holes logged in here :D )


I love that spreadsheet, and thanks for sharing the 58 SM BH too.

I need that spreadsheet!
 
It would be cool to know how these proc-gen black holes find their way into the game. If the collapsed core of a massive star is 50 solar masses the originall star must have cracked the 200 solar masses threshold by miles. Such heavy stars can produce enough gamma rays that they just explode without even leaving a black hole (pair-instability supernovae) or they would be the theoretically possible supermassive population-III stars, the earlies ones in the universe shortly after the big bang.

Alternatively they could also be mergers from black hole collapses or even primordial black holes that did not result from a star's collapse but from the collapse of a gigantic cloud shortly after the big bang. It's highgly interesting if FDev's Stellar Forge has any mechanic for this.

I doubt it somehow, but you never know... :D
